-Q&A
Now, let’s find out more about what Jake says. We’ll ask you some questions.
Okay. Here’s the first one: Q1). What does Jake do to help around his home?
What does Jake do to help around his home? Everyone, let’s think together. Moeno?
Jake makes his bed, and he does his homework.
Okay. Let’s listen to that part of the dialogue.

-from the Dialogue

The question was: Q1). What does Jake do to help around his home? And the answer is: He makes his bed and does his homework. Moeno, I think you said, “Jake makes his bed, and he does his homework.” Of course, that’s right, too.
Nice job.
Everyone, let’s try saying the answer together like this: To help around his home, Jake makes his bed and does his homework. Well done.
Nice. All right. Let’s move on to the next question. First, listen to this.

-from the Dialogue

In the dialogue, Jake says, “I guess at least I should do the dishes.” This is close to “Maybe, at least I should do the dishes.” “I guess” might mean that Jake is not really sure about doing the dishes.
Okay. So, here’s the question: Q2). To help more, what does Jake guess he should do, too?
To help more, what does Jake guess he should do, too? Moeno?
To help more, he guess… guess…
“Guesses.”
Guesses. Thank you.
To help more, he guesses at least he should do the dishes.
Very nice. The question was: To help more, what does Jake guess he should do, too? And the answer is: He guesses at least he should do the dishes, too.
He guesses at least he should do the dishes, too.
Everyone, let’s practice like this: To help more, he guesses at least he should do the dishes, too. Great job, everyone.
All right. Everyone, Moeno, try to put the two answers together to make a short summary of what Jake says. You can start like this: To help around his home, Jake…….. Go ahead.
To help around his home, Jake makes his bed and does his homework. To help more, he guesses at least he should do the dishes, too.
Very nice! You can also say it like this:
To help around his home, Jake makes his bed and does his homework. He guesses at least he should do the dishes, too. Great job, everyone.

-What would you say?
Today, we’ll look at ways to talk about how often you help around your home.
Vicky helps a lot around her home. She sets the table every day.
Yeah. Of course, her family eats dinner every day, so I guess the table needs to be set every day. Does Jake make his bed every day?
No. In the dialogue, he says: I do it every other day.
“Every other day” means something happens one day, then it doesn’t happen the next day, but it does happen again the day after that. For example, you might do something on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but not on Tuesday and Thursday.
Right. So, Jake makes his bed one day, then he doesn’t make it the next day, but he makes it again the day after that.
Yeah. You can also say, for example, “every other week,” “every other month,” or “every other year.”
Okay, everyone. Let’s practice using Jake’s line. Ready? I do it every other day.
I do it every other day.
Great job.
